Ricky Skaggs - Highway 40 Blues Lyrics

Send "Highway 40 Blues" ringtone to your cell

Well these Highway Forty blues

I've walked holes in both my shoes.

Counted the days since I've been gone

And I'd love to see the lights of home.

Wasted time and money too;

Squandered youth in search of truth.

But in the end I had to lose

Lord above I've paid my dues.

Got the Highway Forty blues.

The highway called when I was young

Told me lies of things to come.

Fame and fortune lies ahead!

That's what the billboard lights had said.

Shattered dreams my mind is numb

My money's gone stick out my thumb.

My eyes are filled with bitter tears

Lord I ain't been home in years.

Got the Highway Forty blues.

Instrumental Break.

You know I've rambled all around

Like a rolling stone from town to town.

Met pretty girls I have to say

But none of them could make me stay.

Well I've played the music halls and bars

Had fancy clothes and big fine cars:

Things a country boy can't use

Dixieland I sure miss you.

Got the Highway Forty blues.
